Manuscript Index

The present index includes references to manuscript collections as well as to
individual manuscripts. Manuscripts are listed according to the place in which
they are, or were, preserved. For most biblical manuscripts the sigla assigned
by the Leiden Peshitta Institute (OT mss.) or the Münster Institut für
Neutestamentliche Textforschung (NT mss.) have been added in parentheses. For a
general overview of the major collections of Syriac manuscripts and for the
whereabouts of collections and manuscripts, see J. F. Coakley's Manuscripts entry, and, in greater detail, A. Desreumaux, Répertoire des bibliothèques et des catalogues de manuscrits
syriaques (1991). Not included in the present index are:
inscriptions, Old Syriac documents, papyri, Sogdian manuscripts, Syriac texts
from Turfan. For these, see the relevant entries. Unpublished manuscripts of
works by modern and present-day authors are also not included.
